dmabuf does not force a uapi, you can acquire your pages however you
want and wrap them up in a dmabuf. No uapi at all.

The point is that dmabuf already provides ops that do basically what
is needed here. We don't need ops calling ops just because dmabuf's
ops are not understsood or not perfect. Fixup dmabuf.

If io_uring wants to take its existing memory pre-registration it can
wrap that in a dmbauf, and somehow pass it to the netstack. Userspace
doesn't need to know a dmabuf is being used in the background.
